Synopsis

Learn why a family systems approach to diagnosing and treating common pediatric problems -- whether organic, behavioral, or psychosocial -- is practical and effective. Learn how to use family interviewing skills, therapy principles, and strategies as a key modality of assessment and management. Written in an informal, evocative style rarely found in medical texts, this is an important and very useful resource for all who are involved in the care of children with physical or behavioral challenges. Part I reviews the history and development of family therapy in pediatric care. Part II shows practical skills in action with ample, descriptive case illustrations and transcribed, specific dialogues from clinical interviews between physicians and families.
